Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council, operating under Welsh devolved regulations, is leading the procurement process for the replacement pontoon floats at Burry Port Harbour. This significant improvement project falls under the public authority - sub-central government category and pertains to the goods industry for floating structures. The procurement stage is complete, with the award granted to Solent Marine Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Hayling Island. The contract, valued at £87,120, was signed on 9 March 2026 and covers the period from 16 March 2026 to 31 March 2029.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying harbour equipment and maintenance services. SMEs specialising in marine construction and maintenance services would find this project particularly appealing, given its focus on floating structures essential for harbour improvements. Through direct procurement without competition, businesses in niche maritime industries can gain visibility and establish credibility by participating in such targeted public sector contracts, fostering growth and expanding their clientele.
